If your android phone has been locked due to too many pattern lock code then you should proceed as follows:-
> first of all you should enter wrong pattern lock code 4-5 times and wait for some time and you will be prompted to enter your registered Gmail ID and password so if you had registered your phone with your gmail account and you have active internet or WIFI connection in your phone then you will be able to sign in to your gmail account and then you will be able to reset your pattern lock code

>> I n the case you don`t remember your gmail account credentials then you should try to retrieve it by clicking on for got my password option and then you will be guided to retrieve your account and once you have retrieved it then you could reset your pattern lock code

>>>If you are not able to reset your pattern lock code any ways then you have no other options left but to hard reset your phone as follows:-

> switch off your device
> press and hold the correct keys ( it may vary with device) power button volume down at the same time
> when the phone turns on then you should release power button and continue holding volume down button and then you should see an android logo which will pop out of your screen and then you should use volume down button to scroll down and to highlight wipe data/factory reset > then you should use power button to confirm the selection and then your device will be reset to factory reset

To unlock pattern:
Try to input pattern for 5 times and the device will lock you and cannot write any more pattern for 30 second after that a button appear that asks to reset your pattern by giving your Google Account and password, On the other hand you can check the lock pattern and figure it out by looking at the screen in the spot light, or taking a picture then perform a simple contrast adjustments on the picture to remember what your pattern is all about, If did not work, Unlock your gmail account and to reset your password, enter another email address you associated with your account.. Google can also give your code via text messages or through answering security questions. You can also perform Factory Reset to your phone settings. Unfortunately the phone contacts will be erased and phone will back to original data... You can also do hard reset by performing this following: > HOLD the power button, shut down the phone.
>Hold HOME and RED POWER down and when you see a triangle with an exclamation mark. Keep holding it down until the G1 logo shows up and use:
Alt+L – Toggles between the exclamation and menu options
Alt+S – apply sdcard:update.zip Alt+W – Wipe data/factory reset.

Hello ychel_1504.

There are different instructions and steps on the web on how to fix your problem and this may be the most credible,valid and useful because this steps I will give you came from Alcatel`s Website which means you shouldn`t worry if it will work or not because it will definitely will:

If you forget the screen unlock pattern, please make user data format in the following way:
Turn off the handset, press the volume up key and the Power key at the same time for a few seconds until you see the reset interface, then press “Home” key -> Select “wipe data/factory reset” via volume key -> Press “menu” key to confirm -> Select “Yes->delete all user data” -> Press “menu” key to confirm again -> Please select “reboot system now” and press “menu” to confirm to reboot your phone. The handset can be used without screen unlock pattern after its reboot. Please be noted that user data format will erase all data from your phone (not include SD card files and current system software).

Too many erronous unlocking attempts may cause your phone to block any other attempts. This is generally a built-in security feature in most Android phones.

You may try any of the methods below.

Unlock by using Google Account linked to phone.
If during initial set-up you entered your Google Account, there is a possibility we can unlock your phone using your account.
After five erroneous attempts, your phone should ask for the Google Account to unlock it.
Simply enter your account details to get back to your phone.

Restore your phone to factory settings via hard reset.
This is our last option since the process will delete all of your phones data. We may do a backup later but we cannot assure that all data will be recovered.
To hard reset:
> Remove your battery, and put it back.
> Put your battery again
> Press and hold down VOLUME UP POWER keys
> Android logo should show
> Use volume keys to scroll to FACTORY RESET
> Press First (Folder) Key on touch screen

I`m using same model of phone before and did encounter the same problem, It will ask for the gmail account that you used to set up the phone.
You need to enter that information to have the phone unlocked, but if in any case you can no longer remember the gmail account that you used, the other option that you can do is to set the phone back to factory default which is to reset it

Below are the troubleshooting steps that I did to reset the phone
1. Press and hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time
2. It will show up a screen that says "Android system recovery", select "erase data of factory reset" by using the volume down button and press the button on the left hand side to select the command you choose
3. using the volume down button again select the "erase all data" and press the button on the left hand side again to confirm the selection
4. After that it will initiate a reboot, just wait for it and soon as the phone back up, its now set to default settings, and were able to open the main menu.

Dear User
To many pattern attempts, all you could do is to hard reset your Alcatel one touch 918n.
To reset its password, but note this: It will delete also your Downloaded Data and Files.
Follow my lead on how to Hard reset your Alcatel 918n:
Key uses: Left side button to "OK" = To up :Volume key up / to down :Volume key down
1st > Turned off your phone, Make sure your phone is Full battery or 75% charged.
2nd > Hold Volume up + Power on/off key at the same time.
3rd > Wipe data / Factory reset >> Then Press "OK" by Clicking LEFT SIDE BUTTON.
4th > Then use Volume down key, to select YES- Delete all >Then press "OK" by Clicking Left side button.
5th > Then when your done with that > Select Reboot sysem > Click Left side button to "OK"
6th > Then wait for a few minutes, Just don`t panic, ok.
Then when its done rebooting system, your phone will start normally, just like a Fresh new Alcatel one touch 918n.

Once your phone is blocked, you can do a hard reset but you may lose some data on your phone memory.
To do a hard reset, you have to turn off your phone. Then press and hold both the volume up key and the power keys. A recovery menu should pop up and release the buttons. You now click on the wipe data/factory reset. Then you have to delete all data. You now have to restart your phone and it should now be unblocked.
If this does not work, you can bring it to the nearest service center for repairs.

Make sure that sim is properly inserted on the sim slot. To isolate the problem, insert that sim to another phone and check if it will work. If it will work on the othr phone, turn off your phone after reinserting the sim and test again. Make sure also that your phone is open line.
